For some people, starting out in therapy can be frightening as it involves talking to someone that you do not know, about things that make you uncomfortable angry or sad. I want to reassure you that the process is here to help you get through this difficult time. My counseling style is warm and interactive I believe that life is a series of things that happen to us, and armed with the appropriate tools and coping skills we can successfully navigate through them! I believe in treating clients with respect compassion and sensitivity. My job as your therapist is to maintain a warm and inviting, confidential and judgement-free space that is comforting but challenging during this enlightening process. I have a genuine interest in helping people and an extensive personal and professional understanding of the human condition. In my practice I use an eclectic approach and create an individual strategy for each and every client. I use different modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques to get to the core of the problem. My fees are structured to fit your needs. I work on a scale. My fee is 85.00 an hour and although I do not take insurance I will work with you on negotiating a fee close to your co pay. I look forward to therapy journey!

    I have known Lori Alrod for many years. She has helped many parents of special needs children cope with acceptance and adjustments in their lives. As a parent of a child with autism and muscular dystrophy, I am grateful for her support and guidance. She has helped me through so much over the years, and I am not sure what I would have done without her.
    I am also the president of the Syosset Special Education PTA. Our organization supports the parents and children of special needs, in our district. We raise money for scholarships, speakers and run support groups. Lori has graciously run several of these support groups, and we look forward again to having her this year. Many of my members have contacted her and turned to her for help and advice as well. She has a unique understanding of how to empower the caretaker to be a happier and stronger person. I person I have become.
    I am sincerely grateful.

    I have had the pleasure of knowing Lori for the past year. She has proven to be an empathetic and knowledgeable clinician. She is able to relate to her clients in a warm and compassionate modality and has often offered a variety of therapeutic techniques that she thought would be helpful. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapeutic setting to address their emotional state. Her keen ability to zero in on a problem and offer a multitude of different perspectives has been highly beneficial.

    FEEDBACK I’VE RECEIVED
    Patient Experiences
    How could I possibly narrow down all that Lori has done for me in just a few sentences? I met Lori almost 10 years ago, when I struggled with an eating disorder. Loris degree of wisdom is unfathomable; lets just leave it at that.
    Years later, she became my Life Coach and has guided me into changing my career path and even helped me realize that what was missing in my life was to become a mother! I now have a beautiful 5-month old son and he is the love of my life.
    To say that she has changed my life is an understatement; she has changed my entire familys life! She also helped bring my husband and I closer together by learning communication skills that she taught us. Lori has gone above and beyond to make sure Id be equipped with the life tools needed for the rest of my life. And for that Ill forever be in her debt.

    When I began seeing Lori I was in the early stages of a divorce. I was completely lost and confused, I had countless mixed emotions and no way to sort out my feeling or emotions. Not being a native of Long Island I had no family in the area and only a few friends to help me through this very difficult time. I was very depressed and down on myself, without question at that time in my life I lacked any type of confidence, and to top it off I was unable to connect on any level with another person. This was my definite low point. Once I began seeing Lori she helped me to start sorting through my feelings and understand what I was feeling and why. She showed me how to open up and express myself on levels that quite frankly I had never done before. I choose not to date during that time, I decided I wanted to focus on me. By seeing her regularly, sometimes twice a week, I started to open my eyes and really see the world differently. She is so easy to speak with, she related to me and what I was going through both through her own personal and professional experiences. I had seen a few other therapists prior to Lori and had given up until a friend recommended her and from day one I felt a sense of warmth and comfort. She provides a place where you can really feel relaxed and free to speak your mind no matter what you are thinking without any judgment, just understanding. Fast forward a year and a half later, now in my late 30’s I have never felt more self-aware and confident in my life. I am just simply as happy as I have ever been. I think by understanding myself the way I do now it shows in every aspect of my life. When I speak to people both in my personal life and professional I have a positive energy that people gravitate to and a confidence that I do not think I have ever had and the reaction from other people says it all. Without question I fell like the best version of myself that I have ever been. I want to thank you Lori for helping me change my life in ways that I will be forever grateful.

    Lori Alrod has helped me to put my mind at ease and be less stressed about everyday life with my AD/HD teenage son. She guided my husband and I in making some very big decisions for him, and encouraged us to ‘let go’ a little bit and live outside our comfort zone. Because she has dealt with many of the same issues with her own children, she is able to give me very insightful advice and suggestions.

    I have been a patient of Lori Alrod for approximately 6 months. In that time I have found her to be compassionate, understanding, with tremendous empathy for those she treats. Lori has made herself readily accessible in my times of need and always ready to give meaningful support.
    I have found her honest and reflective feedback to always be of a constructive nature. I feel we have made tremendous progress in the past few months and consider myself lucky to be her patient.
